The structure of nuclear isomeric states is reviewed in the context of their role in
contemporary nuclear physics research. Emphasis is given to high-spin isomers in heavy …

In this review, we describe the experimental facilities and methods which make it possible to
produce and measure the properties of the extreme neutron-rich nuclei. We then develop …

Abstract The neutron-rich 6 6, 6 8 Ni have been produced at GANIL via interactions of a 6 5.
9 A MeV 70 Zn beam with a 58 Ni target. Their reduced transition probability B (E 2; 0 1+→ …

New shell model Hamiltonians are derived for the T= 1 part of the residual interaction in the f
5∕ 2 p 3∕ 2 p 1∕ 2 g 9∕ 2 model space based on the analysis and fit of the available …

New isomeric states in the neutron-rich nuclei near the Z= 28 and N= 40 shell closures have
been identified among the reaction products of a 6 0. 3 A MeV 86 Kr beam on a nat Ni target …

We study systematically the impact of the time-even tensor terms of the Skyrme energy
density functional, ie, terms bilinear in the spin-current tensor density, on deformation …

In-flight separators have played a significant role in the physics of exotic nuclei. In the last
decade, in particular, this field has expanded rapidly with the advent of the new-generation …

We report on the measurement of the first 2+ and 4+ states of Cr 66 and Fe 70, 72 via in-
beam γ-ray spectroscopy. The nuclei of interest were produced by (p, 2 p) reactions at …

The lifetimes of the first excited 2+ states in Fe 62 and Fe 64 have been measured for the
first time using the recoil-distance Doppler shift method after multinucleon transfer reactions …

The first implementation of the AGATA spectrometer consisting of five triple germanium
detector clusters has been installed at Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro, INFN. This setup has …
